Good video! My vice has needed fine tuning for a while! Always good to watch someone else work thru the "what if's" before I get out the rosebud! Your end result was spot on! Good post, keep them coming!

Ya every vise is a little different to fix - I'm glad I could be a bit of a guinea pig for yours!

Fantastic video, Thank you, it's always a big help to see how tools should actually be put together.

That's a good fix to a common problem, I got an old old english vise that has this same problem. Never fixed it just use it as is but now I'm gonna give it a shot and try it make better! Thanks Jayce, happy tuesday!

Thanks! I hope yours goes smoothly! Have a good Tuesday - I'm off to shoe horses today.

Nice video on the straightening! I believe the jaws actually are designed to have a slight gap at the bottom when closed completely. So they grip wider peaces better, being parallel when somewhat apart, as they swivel around the hinge. I know mine does work well that way .

I hope your vise turns out well! Do you have anything left to fix on it or is it all finished?

Thanks, these vice videos have been a wealth of knowledge, I have a pile of vises I have acquired for dirt cheap over the years, I fix one up here and there. I am sure this information will benefit me on future vise projects.

Chris, you know the rules, if there are no videos of your vice repairs, it never happened 😈

Thanks for the information. I like what you did. I have a Peter Wright post vice that has the same issue. I will use your ideas when i fix it . Will keep you posted. Thanks

Once more, thank you for the excellent video. Very nice repair. I think you are right on all aspects of the origin of the vice, in the factory they manufactured it already mismatching the jaws and probably sold it cheapo with defect. A question, since we have access to machinery, and since hinge holes were punched crooked and in the wrong place, couldn't you plug all those holes with weld and then drill everything is the right place and perfect aligned with a drill press?

@FarmsteadForge

Thank you! You definitely could do all of that. I'm happy with the quirks this one has. On vises with a worn out hinge pin I have welded them up and re-drilled them. Thanks for your comment!

@@caotropheus Thanks! I adjusted the spring on this one off camera but I do have another video of me adjusting a spring on a different post vise. Thrust washer video should be out next week!

I suspect the aesthetic aspect of many of those old tools was overlooked for functionality and affordability.

Yes I agree!

Good fix. Use a spacer if you're going to put something in the vice on one side. This will help keep it aligned.

That’s a beautiful vice worth restoring. Something tells me there’s no way that was made so magnificently and they missed the boring by 15 degrees? No way, It may be a design feature to hold work better?

The jaw on the left (at 6:30) is bent back slightly at the point where the screw squeezes it. It's no doubt as a result of over-tightening at some point. That's what's causing the jaw to be higher. I haven't watched the rest of the video, yet but I'm sure that's what's causing the misalignment. I think it's too much to be a manufacturing fault. Interesting project though. Is that torch acetylene or propane?

How old are vises like that ?

Some of them are very old! This is a later one, I'd guess around 1910.
